FoundHuman
Case studies/CrowdComfort

Eleven hires across four years. They kept coming back.

One client, eleven hires, four years. The clearest signal we have that the model works is a simple one. They called us for the next role, and the one after that.

11 hires

Across four years, one client, one relationship.

4 years

They kept coming back, role after role.

~$440,000

In contingency fees they never paid, at a 25% rate on a $160K salary.

The situation

One role, then another, then nine more.

CrowdComfort came to us with a single search. Then another. Over four years, eleven hires ran through the same relationship. A recruiting partner is only worth what the client thinks after the first hire is in the seat. CrowdComfort kept picking up the phone.

How the search ran

Same slot, same guarantee, every time.

Each search was framed fresh with a playbook, sourced wide, and scored blind before names reached the team. Because a FoundHuman slot carries no placement fees, hire number eleven ran on the same flat structure as hire number one. There was never a per-hire invoice to negotiate around.

What stayed

Roughly $440,000 they never paid.

Eleven hires at a 25 percent contingency rate on a $160K salary would have run about $440,000 in placement fees. CrowdComfort never paid a dollar of that. They paid a flat subscription, kept a portal and a record of every search, and came back for the next one.

Judge us by who comes back.
